Major Threat Major Threat To To
Medical Medical ProfessionProfession

Braunula• First Cannula invented in Germany• Rapidly accepted by medical profession• Technique of introduction not evaluated• Used in USA & Europe since 1954• Increase of Staphylococcal infection in
tandem increased with this device • Average attempts required is 2-3 / patient
Types of Cannula
Neonatal cannulaeStraight CannulaeWinged Cannulae
Wing with portWinged with stop cork
All these cannula do the same job
Cannula Insertion Technique
• Wash hands with soap and water• Wear un-sterile glove• Identify good vein to cannulate• Prepare skin of patient• Insert cannula needle through skin• Puncture blood vessel
Common Problems
Needle Bends when pressure is applied from the top
Flash-Back• Blood noticed in Collecting Blood noticed in Collecting

How Cannula Spread Infection
““This is Not a Problem”This is Not a Problem”1996-2004 • Hep : 9 infected of 997 exposure• HIV : 1 infected of 551 exposure16% Healthcare of 35,000 sustained sharp injury
Ported Cannula
Major cause for spreading bacterial infection
Ported Cannula• 50% of patients develop Bacteraemia• 17 million used in UK• Banned in USA & Europe• Bacteria colonize in the port• Must be banned in UK Hospitals
MRSA Infections in Europe
Antibiotic Resistant Statistics1 in 10 Patients who get infections in UK3 out of 10 Health People carrying MRSA on their skin
1,652 Death from MRSA in UK, 2006.
19,000 Death of MRSA in the USA in 2005
2,300 Canadians died of MRSA
6,480 C diff death in 2006 in UK, up 72%
13 Drugs Clinical drug (11 are given IV) trials£2 Billion Cost of deep cleaning hospitals in UK
£16 million Cost of Skin Testing in Scotland next year
£183 million Cost of MRSA in Scotland / Year3.2 - 4.2 Billion $ Cost of MRSA infection in USA/Year$200 - $250 million Annual cost in Canada
Bactrial Threat High• Increased practical procedure• Poor hand washing technique• Antiseptic skin solution not effective• Use of un-sterile gloves• 48% Healthcare workers are carriers• Rapidly adopting bacteria• 17% Doctors have adequate knowledge• Politicians ignoring this threat
This Proved our Hypothesis
Major Problem
Hand Wash• Bacteria are now resistant to BiocideBacteria are now resistant to Biocide• Nurses / Doctors do not observe drying timeNurses / Doctors do not observe drying time• Use hand wash gel only when water and soap are Use hand wash gel only when water and soap are
not availablenot available• Low concentrated wash increase bacteria handLow concentrated wash increase bacteria hand• Washing more than 10 times increase colony count Washing more than 10 times increase colony count
